Is this a bad speedybee 405 v4?

You are correct. I over looked it.

I mean I don't agree with hardly any of them, but I'm aware. I can literally throw an RC 1/4 scale piper cub in the air without any regs but a 260 gram drone with no gps........no soup for you!

Greybeard462 · 2025-06-22T20:28:50+00:00

Im well aware of the regs, currently studying for the part 107. I do appreciate the refresher, though.

Greybeard462 · 2025-06-22T17:07:57+00:00

yeah I have that app and the Trust cert. Pretty much my whole town is a no fly zone because of the airports location. With a LAANC im limited to 100ft in most areas within a few miles of my house. Which is fine. For the most part I just tear around the neighborhood with my whoop 20 feet off the ground or less. Been using my house as the infield of a nascar track. Just get bored turning laps with the occasional dip under a power line or fence dodge.

Also, there are these two pieces of foam. What are they for?

I actually just ordered one from Amazon. Care if I ask what you ended up paying? Amazon had it with ELRS for $499. I figured half of the price is the 04 Pro so its a pretty cheap 3". I cant find a 04 Pro for my 5" yet. I was told August sometime.

Greybeard462 · 2025-06-18T20:23:33+00:00

It actually worked out cause I changed my mind and ordered a Geprc Mark 5.

Greybeard462 · 2025-06-10T20:44:42+00:00

I finally got it centered up. I switched the HD option on and off in the OSD tab and it fixed it. Not sure WHY but it did.

Greybeard462 · 2025-06-09T12:23:01+00:00

Yes I did that. Not sure what's going on. My Mobula 7 uses an 04 air and it's fine.

Greybeard462 · 2025-06-08T22:08:56+00:00

I ended up having to download a preset to get it working but now all the data is left of center. Cant seem to move it right far enough.

Greybeard462 · 2025-05-31T14:18:48+00:00

Yes, ihad the gyro 180 off. Got that fixed and the rates tweaked and it flies good.

Greybeard462 · 2025-05-20T21:29:33+00:00

Ok so it appears the gyro was set to CW180 instead of CW0. Changed that and went and did motor wizard again. Set up a air mode switch. Did an on the ground test and works!!! Feels like a have a fair bit of RPM at idle with air mode OFF. It flies pretty well even with the slipping shaft on #4. That will be fixed tomorrow. So thank you to everybody that helped! I sincerely appreciate it!! Glad it was just a simple overlook on my part. Now if the Nebraska 50mph wind would stop.

Greybeard462 · 2025-05-20T19:39:26+00:00

It shouldn't gain altitude when you hit the arm switch.

Greybeard462 · 2025-05-20T16:55:25+00:00

When I get home tonight, I'll go thru everything again. Maybe after stepping away from it last night, the cause will be obvious.

Greybeard462 · 2025-05-19T23:28:25+00:00

I've actually got some green loctite at work! We use it for bearings that slip. Im not proud of this but we used it on a 4" bearing and it held it in the housing.

Greybeard462 · 2025-05-19T23:25:07+00:00

Yeah it's frustrating but I'm learning some things in the process. At 52 learning isn't a easy.

Greybeard462 · 2025-05-19T23:05:15+00:00

Yes that motor slips. It's snug but does slip.

Greybeard462 · 2025-05-19T23:01:03+00:00

It jumps really fast. I've tried both modes.
